Flowers Sharron Angle sent to Joy Behar.

If Joy Behar's rant about Sharron Angle was intended to hurt the Republican Senate candidate, the point was lost on Angle.

In fact, Angle was so pleased with the free press, her campaign sent Behar a bouquet of flowers.

The note read:

"Joy,

Raised $150,000 online yesterday -- thanks for your help.

Sincerely, Sharron Angle"

Behar let loose on Angle earlier this week during an episode of "The View," repeatedly calling Angle an expletive and saying she is "going to hell."

Behar was responding to an Angle campaign commercial about immigration, which juxtaposes images of menacing-looking Hispanic men with images of white smiling school children.

Rachel Maddow called the ad "the most overtly racist" ad of the season. Behar compared it to a "Hitler youth commercial."

Angle shot back with roses and lilies.

  1. I don't necessarily care much for either candidate at this point, but Sharon's response to this was brilliant.

  2. Angle proved Joy right didn't she? I wonder if the campaign paid for the flowers or if we did with her husbands government pension.

  3. Pat Boone in his teen idol days sang about a philandering Mexican called Speedy Gonzales who does a lot of drinking with a floosy named Flo.
    You can listen to it on YouTube:

    Maybe Sharron can use this as theme music on her next whistle stop tour.

  4. I dont know about anyone else but my garbage pail is full , I have shut off my phone and tv. The $120K that angle raised is completely from out of state. I dont believe they can vote in Nevada.
    At this point I think I can safely say that there is not an undecided voter in Nevada. If anyone is undecided at this point I dont think anyone wants to hear what most people think about them
    If Angle should win and anything is possible we will be rid of her. Let the rest of the country suffer the indignity of seeing this woman on the loose in the Senate. Nevada wont be a laughing stock we will have shipped our problem out of state. The rest of the world will think and know we are really nuts in this country. If she loses she will be personna non grata in Nevada and have to hide in her cave. Either way we will soon be finished with her.

  5. History does repeat itself! Right here in Nevada!

    The teaparty = Strumabteilung

    Republican Party = Schutzstaffel

    Las Vegas Review Journal = Der Sturmer

    Heidi Harris = Axis Sally

    Alan Stock = Lord HA HA

    Sherm Fredrick = Julius Streicher

  6. This really is embarrassing, watching the Democrats and the Left go down in flames. Like spoiled children getting told no, the tantrums are so unbecoming. Some day they will grow up..... yeah, right, you betcha, not holding my breath.

  7. This clearly show how Liberals and Progressives suffer from a mental disorder.

    thesunwill come up tomorrow after Reid is gone.

    btw, thesunwill, check you liberal guilt before it wrecks your objectivity......oops, too late.

  8. Joyce Behar is just trying to drive up ratings for her personal gain. I hope this shuts up that creep forever - I think most of us simply watch Regis and Kelly and then turn over to Price is Right. The View is nothing more than Joyce's public temper tantrum - day after day after day.

    Joyce - take a valium - oh, that's right, you can't get that given the health policy Nobama gave to you personally. Perhaps an aspirin with a 20 per cent tax instead; Nobama just loves the fact that you are giving America a headache as it increases his thieving taxes.

  9. thesunwill, that can't be the keyboard you use for all your good Christian memos. Please tell us more how your unbelievably divisive remarks are going to unite us.

    Typical lib, do as I say not as I do.

  10. Who is Joyce?

  11. Hate will never win out over love, so for you guys who are supporting Hate, you are no better than the persons you are complanning about.
    Today the Hispanics,and Latino's out number Whites and Blacks in this Country 9 to 1, some say they are the Majority, and White are becomming the Manority.

    If Angle made a Racist remark, the she is wrong,and the same goes for Joy Behar.
    Reading some of your comments, this has nothing to do with Politic, it has to do with Race, and you shouldn't support Hate.

  12. This whole election cycle is about Race, if you don't think so, keep fooling yourself. When the mortgage bubble burst and the economy started going down the tubes during Bush's second term you didn't hear any of this crazy talk from the right. But cut taxes for the middle class and save jobs with the stimulus and all of a sudden we're a train steaming down the track to socialism. It's pathetic. Too many people are getting their information from "credible" internet sources instead of the history books.

  13. I wish you folks had been so keenly aware of Sharron Angle's insidious evil nature when she was teaching your kids at school over the course of 25 years. Those children are all probably "programmed" to violently attack anyone expressing a liberal point of view. I'm sure there was a great conspiracy over the years by Sharron and the whacko right to indoctrinate these children with evil conservative values and at just the right time say a code word that will unleash them on humanity. Why hasn't Harry Reid picked up on this? How could all of you missed the fact that she's been planning this since 1970, to marry a government employee "sugar daddy", indoctrinate little children and then run for the senate and pull the chain on her master plan to run the universe? God you Einsteins just amaze me at your ability to figure this stuff out....NOT.

  14. I do hope all the Angle/Tea Party supporters are still on this blog next year when their favorites have voted for a budget with new deficits and they accept our "I told you so"s.

    I assume the GOP will take the house and Boehner will be the new speaker and he will push through a budget that has new tax cuts, no significant spending cuts, some further deregulation, and new spending programs. Any one want to bet lunch on it?

    Just remember that "speaker" Boehner pushed TARP, voted for every Bush deficit budget, every Bush tax cut etc, including Bush's last budget which increased the FY 2009 deficit to $1.4T compared to the surplus in FY 2001. I"ll go further than taht, the FY 2012 budget will have more total spending than the FY 2010 budget, even with Boehner as Speaker.

    And I'll also bet lunch that, if Angle wins, she will get "shunned" in the GOP caucus for refusing to vote with her party. She'll accomplish nothing except to make Nevada irrelevant on the National stage.

    And taken as a whole, all the above will help get Obama get re-elected.

  15. This just goes along with everything that Sharron Angle does during this campaign. She don't answer questions. She places more emphasis on campaign money than she does on the issues. She runs from reporters. And if she runs from reporters, she runs from the people. NO ONE actually knows for certain what she stands for. Because of all the nutty things she claims. And when it gets over the top and really nuts and she gets called out for it, she relies upon her campaign slogan....

    "That's not what I said."

    She is afraid of questions. She is afraid of voters. She is paranoid. She is a coward.

    She is a problem creator. Not a problem solver. She will kick the can down the road, hope someone else picks it up. And after they pick it up, she'll scamper to claim credit.

    Her campaign is only to resort to a rabid snarling chihuahua attack dog mode. Scream at Senator Reid and tell him to "man up," while she follows a course of action that leaves all the voters clueless about what she is about because she just wishes to "shut up."

    All of this stuff spells trouble for Nevada if she gets elected.

    My vote goes for Senator Reid. I go for sanity. And not tea.

  16. Sharron Angle the Canadian Ambassador to the United state is now Demanding an APOLOGY for Angle;s Fakse Statement.

    APOLOGY Angle, and kill this story, before it kills you.
    I don't think you should be a Senator.

  17. Wow! What a political circus!

    Bring in the clowns! Bring in the clowns!

  18. What an arrogant woman Sharron Angle is. Anyone with intelligence, class and dignity would not have responded.
